OOTD #1 - Spring Day Date!

11:30 0 Comments
Hi guys,

I've recently been uploading my Outfits Of The Day to my Instagram (here)  - if you've been following me for the past couple of months, you would have noticed some outfit pictures popping up!

I've been wanting to make some outfit posts for a while, but just haven't had the confidence or the time! My good friend Kat, is a photographer, and she said that she'd start doing photoshoots with me, so I can make my Instagram more professional. Also, I feel that it's a great way for me to give you guys some outfit inspiration if you're stuck (I keep looking on Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration when I have no clue what to wear).

Recently, I purchased my DREAM BAG and have been obsessed with it and have been using it almost every day when I'm not at work, so you'll probably see A LOT of this bag in my OOTD posts.

Here's my first OOTD post on my blog from yesterday. Neil took me out for a Day Date, and I thought this outfit suited the occasion as well as the weather. I don't know if you've all heard, but we actually had snow in the UK earlier this week...and it's APRIL!

Review: Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation on Oily Skin!

01:00 0 Comments



Hi Guys,
Recently, I tested out the Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation on my channel for a First Impression. This foundation has beed RAVED about all over youtube - I don't think I've even seen one negative review. 


The things that made me really want to test it out are the super affordable price point (it retails for $5-$6), and I fell in love with it when I watched a review from Casey Holmes on her channel about this foundation. Casey has SUPER oily skin, and I have very oily-combination skin. I though. "If it works for her, it'll work for me'.


As I was in Florida on my holiday, I decided to have a look around Walmart to find my shade. And I have to tell you, this was super tricky - they literally sold out of every shade every time I'd go to Walmart! So, I managed to pick up two shades, which aren't exactly toy my perfect shade, but I thought that I could just mix them together if they're not the perfect shade. 
The shades I picked up were Soft Ivory (Light Warm) and Buff Bisque (Light-Medium Neutral). Because I self tan, I knew that I would need the Light-Medium Warm, however I literally couldn't find this ANYWHERE! 


If you don't already know, my skin type is Oily-Combination Skin, very oily t-zone with redness and blemishes, acne prone. 


The foundation didn't have any claims when it came to coverage, lasting power, texture or which skin type it was for, so I basically went into this First Impression blind, with no knowledge of how it would perform. The packaging only stated that it doesn't have any flashback or white cast in photo, so is perfect for photoshoots and selfie lighting. 


They feel and look exactly the same on the skin, and the only difference really being that the Estee Lauder is waterproof and doesn't budge for over 14 hours, and the Wet n Wild starts to come off after 9 hours of wear. 


Wet n Wild Photo Focus is an incredible foundation for only $5! (I purchased it for $4.97 from Walmart.) Check out my First Impression video on this foundation above. 


I tested out this theory by using my iPhone with the flash on and off. And I think it looks great not ways! There's not really much of a difference, however the flash makes everything look perfect and glowy. 



WITH FLASH VS WITHOUT FLASH

So, I tried out this foundation in my first impression, and I was BLOWN AWAY! I feel as though this foundation is a drugstore dupe for the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. I have this foundation, have been using it for years, and it's my holy grail. 

BEFORE & AFTER

PROS:
Very affordable - retails for $5-$6.
Long lasting - still looked flawless after 9 hours of wear.
Great for oily skin.
Didn't break me out. 
Didn't irritate my sensitive skin.
Looks HD, and evens out skin texture and pores.
Amazing selection of colour - Fair-Deep Dark colours in Cool, Neutral and Warm undertones.
Easily buildable. 
Great coverage - medium and can be built up to almost full. 
No flashback or white cast in photos. 
No strong scent. 
Spatula Applicator. 
Packaging is glass, and feels very luxurious. 

Very hard to find if you don't live in the US or Canada - Wet n Wild doesn't ship internationally.

Sells out very quickly, so very hard to find your shade in stock.
Sinks into pores after 6 hours if not used with a pore-filling primer. 

Enjoy,

Chloe xoxo

My Florida Haul!

08:00 0 Comments

Hi Guys,

Last month, I went on my holiday to Florida - which I had been waiting a year to go on! - and among going to Theme Parks, I managed to fit in a little bit of shopping...OK, it was more like A LOT of Shopping!

I've had my eye on a few beauty products which I know that you can't buy over here, or are super expensive to get shipped over, so thought I'd stalk Walmart and Target to get my hands on these products. I managed to buy everything I wanted, other than one.

The Flower Beauty Loose Translucent Powder was the HARDEST thing for me to track down! Every time I went into Walmart, they were completely sold out! I even looked on their website to find the nearest store which had it, and no where in a 20 mile radius had it. So, I had no choice, but to leave that one behind.

Outlet shopping. Outlet shopping is the BEST type of shopping in Florida. I've been to a couple of outlet sotres in other countries before - Set Midlands Outlet and La Vallee Village - but nothing is quite as good, big and as affordable as the outlets in Florida.

Whilst I was away, I was determined that I didn't need to by a bag or a purse - I'm saving for my Dream Bag. But low and behold, I caved.

So, on my holiday, I was adamant that I was only going to buy a couple of foundations and lots of my favourite mascaras (Cover Girl The Super Sizer Mascara), but I ended up buying beauty, fashion, a bag, and a new purse.

Check out my video (above) to see all of the amazing items I purchased over my time in Florida.

There was one item that I didn't feature... Pumpkin Juice.


I tried this Pumpkin Juice on a whim, when we visited The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter. Everyone was buying an ice cream, and since I have developed a little intolerance to cow's milk, I wasn't able to have any of the flavours. So instead, I decided to try a Pumpkin Juice.
     I've never eaten or drank pumpkin before, so it was a completely blind taste test, and I have to say that I actually really enjoyed it. I purchased two bottles of this on two occasions, and kept the bottles, because they're so good, and you won't be able to buy them from anywhere else! ☺

Now that my laptop is finally back to me (again), I'll be going through the footage from the holiday, and will upload some vlogs to my main youtube channel, hopefully soon. 

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Clearing Out My Wardrobe & I'm Selling My Items!

08:30 0 Comments
Hi Guys,

I'm about to make my first BIG Luxury purchase of my dream handbag next month, which I have been loving and have been dreaming about for the past 2-3 years. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would EVER be able to afford something so expensive, but I've been saving up, and have researched everything about this particular bag!

In order for me to feel better about adding another item to my collection, I've decided to do a GIANT Spring Clean of my wardrobe!

I'm selling bags which I don't use anymore, clothes which I have either never worn or that I don't want anymore, unworn shoes, and there's some unused beauty products which I feel are just cluttering up my space.

I don't have a big bedroom or a lot of space for these items, and I don't really want to bring another big item - along with it's box and bag - if there's no room for it to go!

I've already added some pieces I'm selling online, but will be adding a lot more at the weekend. These are just items I never use and I just feel like giving them to a much better home!

Check out my Depop, which is where I'm placing all of my items for sale. If you want to make me an offer, just message me. Everything really needs to go as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Chloe xoxo

Long-Lasting Makeup! Copper/Red Eyes + Pink Lips!

08:30 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

Since I've been bcd to filming videos, I asked you all which videos you would like to see up, and a couple of my subscribers said that they wanted to see a Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial.

I didn't want to create just any makeup tutorial - I wanted to make sure that is was long lasting for the whole night, so it lasts throughout anything which you may be doing for the day. Plus, I wanted to make sure it stays looking perfect, and looks great in photos!

If you don't already know, I have oily combination skin, with my T-zone being super oily! All of these products were tried and tested, and some are even holy grail products of mine. I promise that even f you are super oily, this makeup WILL NOT BUDGE!!!

I created a makeup look for when me and Neil had our Valentine's Day on the Saturday before, and I had so many compliments for you all on my Instagram, so thought that I'd keep everything the same, and just change the lip combination to look more pink. (Photo from my makeup on the day below).




This look has a hint of red on the eyes, and pink for the lips, the colours which I associate with Valentine's Day. Which you will be able to tell from my previous Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorials (below).

The lip combination is one which I have been wearing constantly, and is my go-to when I don't know what to do with my lipstick. The lipstick is my favourite by MAC - Angel, and I used the Jouer Lip Topper in Skinny Dip - which is perfection!

So, if you want to find some long lasting makeup which won't budge, or just want to create beautiful makeup look for date nights, just watch the video above. All products are a mix of drugstore and high end, so you don't have to break the bank to have this look.

Also, I have below my previous Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorials if you'd like to try some others out!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Did I Get Everything On My Christmas Wishlist?

05:00 0 Comments


Hi guys,

On Christmas Eve last year, I posted a blog post on my Wishlist for Christmas 2016.

Now, I'm one of those people who doesn't know what they want, and I don't expect much at Christmas. Two of the presents on my Wishlist were extremely last minute choices! Click here to check out my Wishlist!

So, did I end up receiving everything I wished for?

I actually received one of the items from my mum and dad, and purchased one of them in the sale after Christmas, so I was extremely happy! 😊
My parents got me the Babyliss Curl Secret hair tool, and this was the present I mainly wanted, because I've been after it for several years, and since it came out on the market. I didn't buy it for myself, because I was holding off as it was £90 and would never go on sale for under £80!
I managed to find one at Costco, which was in a new package for £50, so I'm guessing that's why they had to go to Costco so urgently when the coupon book arrived! Hehe

The item which I purchased for myself was the Lancome Juicy Shakers set. I thought that this was pretty expensive over Christmas, as you didn't really save anything buying the set. I wasn't upset that I didn't receive it, as I was too crazy about it - it was a last minute present on my Wishlist anyway!
I headed over to the Boots website on Christmas Day Evening, as I couldn't sleep, and low and behold, there was a HUGE sale on all of their Christmas Gift Sets!
I managed to snag this set for under £30, which is around the same price as one and a half juicy shakers.
I've been obsessed with these little lip oils since they came out, however I'm still loving the colour I purchased when they came out more, which is the Melon flavour.

Even though I only received one of the items on my Wishlist, I was super happy, had a beautiful Christmas, and was so thankful of everything that I received!

I hope you all had beautiful Christmases, and if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you had a beautiful new year and holiday! 😊
Oh, and if you want to see some items I received for Christmas, and what I received for my birthday, check out the video above.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo
